Lists of Promise
March 13-30, 2025
This performance piece, structured through classic theater and ungrounded aerial movement elements, traces the lives of a group of women from different eras and socio-political circumstances, through the lens of historical records and lists from mundane to extraordinary. Infused with humor throughout and presented in a series of interconnected vignettes amalgamating daily life and imaginative thinking, the nine woman cast embodies individual experiences in order to explore their community and shared consciousness. With an index of historical texts and anecdotes, Lists of Promise questions the expectations and demands made of women by highlighting absurd, tragic, and ironic realities.
